And you wonder why I obsess about my weight?
I know. It's my own fault for watching these stupid "reality" tv shows. I should be reading "War and Peace" or organizing my bookshelves or writing the Next Great Canadian novel. I could even work on a fabulous lesson plan for my students. But no. I allow myself to be sucked in the world of Tyra Banks--where, despite all of her "championing" of real girls with real bodies--an absolutely stunning woman is made to question her own worth because she is not model-sized or plus-sized. She is normal-sized.
Check out her photos.
Sarah has no place in the fashion industry because----GASP!-she has a real body. A real body that is still probably at least 20 pounds less than an average woman. Now, she gets to leave the show with her self-image completely destroyed. Fuck you, Tyra Banks.
Yeah, I'll keep watching. Addictions aren't that easy to break. But I promise lots of self-loathing. In solidarity with Sarah.

Dude, that is fucked up.
Seriously.
Um. WHAT. THE. FUCK?
See, all I can think is, "Wow! She has actual legs instead of reed-thin appendages upon which to balance."
Um, that's not model-sized? She looks skinny to me!
I would love legs like hers.
For fuck's sake... I hope Sarah gets stopped on the street and told how gorgeous she is.
Ack. Blogger keeps eating my comments.
What I said was:
Sarah is fierce. Her rock-climbing shot blew the others away.
But, it seems, the world of "high fashion" is ruled by gay men and what THEY find attractive. Curves? No way! Skinny-boy sheik for them, thanks.
